i was wondering if you are supposed to buy wheels made for an RSX if you have the RSX or DC5 Type-R suspension in the 7th gen civic. Do the wheels fit or is there an offset problem? I am interested in this swap for the future and want to make sure i do everything right. Also, is anybody here from PA who knows any good shops who could do this swap? Thanks

depends on what axles you use. it's 5 lug if you use dc5 usdm or jdm, the type s wheels do stick out a little more than stock civic ones, but if you are using a sotck suspension you won't have rubbing issues. dc5r wheels have a significantly larger offset to accommodate the brakes on the type r. so that might look a little weird.

Why would that look weird? I wish I had a higher offset wheel so they wouldn't be sticking out so far in the front. I have a 40 offset right now, and wish I would have bought atleast a 48.

k20 tpye r, rsx type r guage cluster, bear brake kit, mugen rods, spoon pistons,(pistons and rods were already included when i got the swap), 6 speed tranny with the clutchand flywheel,custom exhaust with the HKS hi power tip

soon to come : rear brakes(dunno which yet),cam gears and pulleys and maybe headers(thinkin about it)

thats preference. dc5r wheels sport a whopping 60 offset. quite the difference

Thats going to be one Torquey Little Civic.

What mounts are you using?

 
Rep Power: 329

my thoughts exactly. you better post up a dyno, i know that beast will need some tuning anyways

 
Rep Power: 403

yup, 160hp @ 6000rpm and 163 tq@ 3000. i will be having to dyno tune it......

i need the tq for all the city driving i do up in downtown LA... and just ingeneral in la, you need to drive streets
